It might be. Google keeps fiddling with things and different browsers react differently. And people are getting different things.

Google controls where ads get placed. I suspect they are getting desperate as they keep changing settings on their own. Everything seems to be working when I check. If you want to avoid ads completely and still have a site to visit, Premium Members have no ads. https://gayauthors.org/subscriptions/

In the story archive, categories are something different and are labeled as such qhen you edit stories. You are asking about Genres and Sub-genres so i fixed your topic title. You can choose any sub-genre that makes sense for your story. The primary genres are set automatically when you select a sub genre. So if you set Family Saga as a subgenre it will automatically show under Literary Fiction Primary genre. The system will squawk if you set too many sub-genres. If you have that many you want to set, then the story probably lacks focus or you just need to set experimental as you aren't fitting into genre fiction.

Please contact staff or post in the help forum, not here.

Edit story -> step 3 -> genres. or PM list of stories to me with either what you want added or what it should be set for. I can mass edit quickly.

Assigning a genre to a story is usually in the hands of the author. I'm assuming @Mark Arbour has not re-evaluated the genre options now available. You can PM a staff member and request the addition or change for anthologies.

This is by design. Since so many authors have been ignoring requirements to not use text formatting other than Bold and Italic, the ability to do so has been removed. The formatting causes a lot of problems with our Reader Text Filters: And then we have to field support requests on stories where this feature is broken. Details on what is allowed is here:

Lots of factors play into it. but Stories almost always have that pattern. Especially stories posted over a length of time. (Say once a month). Some people will reread all posted chapters before reading the new chapter. Or the author may have posted the first chapter on a slow day on site, so got a lot more clicks than usual. Views are only an indicator. Reactions, recommendations, and reviews are more reliable indicator of how people are enjoying a story. @ReaderPaul, pretty much yes.

This is now patched.

I was having a bit of 1980's nostalgia before bed last night and asked for "Harry Potter as a Garbage Pail Kid" Well, that was odd as clearly the AI was not taught about Garbage Pail Kids and really created some freaky stuff. The caution sign of a boy with a wand on the upper left was nice touch though... So... Garbage Pail Kids were the boy focused collector card response to the girl focused Cabbage Patch Dolls... so... I figured, I should check those to see if the AI knew them... and well... Yup... I'm a bit freaked out...
